1To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.
1In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
2Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
3For my rock and my bulwark <FI>art<Fi> Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me.
3For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
4Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou <FI>art<Fi> my strength.
4Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
5Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.
5Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
6I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.
6I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord.
7I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.
7I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
8And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
9Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress <FI>is<Fi> to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
9Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.
10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without--fled from me.
11I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
12I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.
12I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear <FI>is<Fi> round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,
13For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14And I on Thee--I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou <FI>art<Fi> my God.'
14But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
15In Thy hand <FI>are<Fi> my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
15My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.
16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.
17O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol.
17Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
18Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,
19Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.
20Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21Blessed <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.
21Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
22And I--I have said in my haste, `I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.
22For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
